Strawberry Jam Cupcakes

A family friend gave me some homemade strawberry jam (thanks again, Carol!) and I just had to make cupcakes with it! I found this recipe online and I think it’s fantastic. The strawberry cupcakes filled with jam contrast nicely with the cream cheese frosting. Mmm.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla together until smooth. Add the sugar and on low speed, beat until incorporated. Increase the speed to high and mix until very light and fluffy. Frost completely cool cupcakes, using a pastry bag if available.

Hey Julie –
The recipe was so great! You’re welcome to use any photos you’d like :) Take care,

Loved this!

The cupcakes are actually quite good one their own, with the jam minus the cream cheese icing, as a breakfast muffin.

Additionally, I found that the amount of icing made with these measurements resulted in about double the icing you’d need — so you might want to only make half the suggested amount. I also only added in half the sugar (proportionally), and found it to be sweet enough.
